Valentine’s Day. For many, it’s a day of love, endless joy,
and doting on those we hold dear.
Chocolates, flowers, handmade cards,
and words of affirmation pepper the atmosphere.
For others, it’s a reminder of the hurt from the past,
when possibly a heart was torn in two
that left a weary soul grasping for love
not knowing what else to do.
For those a change of heart is needed
and maybe even a reminder of God’s love.
He’s there to mend a heart broken
as he rains down love from above.
Sometimes finding love in our lives
means letting go of the past
in order to move into the future
to find hope that will last.
So commit to letting go of pain
and realize it is our own choice
to release the hurt and sadness
and help our broken heart rejoice.
Find folks who make your heart happy
and allow peace to enter in.
There is someone waiting out there
just longing to be your friend.
When days like today bring sadness and pain,
just know it doesn’t have to be.
You can choose happiness again
and set your hurting heart free.
